A Machine to Make Milk.

Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.
l turned the cows out, and as old
Bess was little slow in going / Just
caught her by the tail and gave her
switch with it to hurry her up a
little. I've been feeding old Bess off
and on for five years and thought
that she honored me and respected
me. but suddenly IL the Winking of
an eye and with malice aforethought
she raised her hind leg and let fly at
Inc with all her might. She hit me
on the shinebone, and you might
have heard the collision for fifty
yards. 1t hurt so bad let go her
tail prematurely-. and holIered. 1t
was a cowardly act of hers, but
nevertheless shall ever hereafter
let those cows tails alone. l thought
from the report that the bone was
broken, and l took on powerful and
let Carl help me all the way to the
house, but when l examined l found
the bone all right and only the cpl
dermic cuticle abraded. I've lost
confidence in cows. They have no
gratitude and no emotions of an ex-
allied character. They are not fit for
pets. A horse belongs to the nobility,
but cow is scrub. She has about
as much affection as mule. She is
a machine to manufacture milk, and
that is all.
Nevertheless / never like to sell
my cattle to the butcher. l meyer
Kill one for my own use, and 1 never
want to eat beefsteak that comes
from one of my own raising. Now,
hogs are different. l have no linger-
Ing affection for live hog. 1 can see
fat one killed with ferfect indifer-
ence. 1t is his nature to be killed.
He had just as lief be killed as not,
There is no attraction about him, no
beauty or cOmeliness, no traits of
character, but after he is dead and
dressed and dissected there is a
greater variety of good things about
him than about any other animal.
There is backbone and sparerib and
sausage and hogs feet and hogs head
and brains and jowl and turnip greens
and souse and lard and cracklin bread
and middling and ham and shoulder.
and they are all good and yet all diff
ferent in taste and satisfaction.
Well the other morning / went
down to feed the hogs and as was
throwing the corn over in the pen the
old cotswool ram jumped in to divide
the break fast. and as he was butting
the hogs around lively 1 picked up a
little stick and climbed over the low
fence to chastise him and make him
depart those coasts. l had some little
hesitation about this business, and
proceeded slowly and shook the stick
at him. He just stepped backward
little and bowed his neck and doub.
led up his fOre-feet and made a lunge
at me, and would have shocked me
clean over the fence. but L was over
before he got to me. l was as mad
as Julius Caesar, and 1 grabbed up a
fence rail and stood outside and
punched him unit he jumped out
where he jumped in.
The Good Book says that a man
shall have domionion over the beasts
of the field, but it looks like mine are
in state of rebellion, and are trying
to have dominion over me.

MIR. CHILD'S CLOCK.
How A. L. Stewart Put. a Duplicate
of 1t in the Hall OF His Mansion.

How A. Il. Stewart Put. a Duplicate
oft in the Hall OF His Mansion.
The Philadelphia Record some time.
ago described an elegant hall clock,
owned by Mr.. Childs, which was exhib-
tied at the Paris exposition in 1878 and
afterward bought by the father of the
late Legrand Lockwood. At the
auction sale of Mr.. Lockwood's effects,
so the Record states, the bidders for
the clock were Mr.. ChildS and an agent
competition, Mr.. Stewards representa-.
tive withdrew and Mr.. Childs secured
the timepiece on his bid of $1,000. Mr..
Stewart was not the man to be leftS
long way behind in a business. Trans
action. He found through his agent in
Paris that the clock could be duplicated
at lower figure than it brought atsauc-
ton. The order was Immediately given,
and within year an exact copy OF the
tall timepiece, with its intricate move
ment by FarcOt. its calendar, astronomi-
cal, thermometer and other attachments,
its superb case, Surm0unted by beauti-
fully wrought statuette of liberty
swinging a pendulum. by Carrie, was
ticking in the hall of Mr.. Stewards
house. Probably the fact that its cost,
including all expenses, was much less
than the sum paid by Mr.. Childs at the
Lockwood sale for the original was
source of much satisfaction to Mr..
Stewart. 1t was generally supposed
that the clock was the identical one ex-
hibited at the Paris exposition, and not
a duplicate, and that impression pre-
vailed at the Stewart sale. But the
competition for the costly timepiece was
not a lively one, and it was sold to a
gentleman from the West for $3.50.

An Address By Rev. DR.. Talmage---Ref-

The Good the Press Has Done in Aid of
the Pulpit Throughout the Civ
ilized World.

NEW YORK, June 12.-The dedication
of the monument erected by the New
York Press club at Cypress Hill ceme-
terry took place this afternoon. The
preparations had been carefully made
and were carried out without hitch.
After the opening exercises, music and
prayer and few remarks by the officers
OF the press club, Hon. Chauncey M.
Depew delivered the Grafton of the day.
lie spoke of the change in the relations
OF individuals brought about by the
great advances of the age, and the cen
trallzation of industry in large cities,
and said that it was most necessary that
organizations should see to it that the
poor of the craft has suitable place for
burial. He referred to the reportoriaI
corps in the highest terms as the BODY
that had furnished the most powerful
influence of modern thought. From it
have come not only the editors, but the
contributors to our literature, whose
names are immortal. The reporter, with
no incentive but his duty, outdoes the
soldier, and telegraphs to his paper an
account that electrities the world, but
bears no signature. 1t was only in eX-
ceptiOnal cases that the newspaper man
received his dues. There were times in
the lives of Greeley and Raymond
when they would have found
NAMELESS GRAVES
if they had died. The casual reader
sees in the daily journal only an imper-
s0nal expression of popular feeling.
The Press club monument will serve to
make them think more of the men be-
hind the papers. An address was also
delivered by Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage.
DR.. Talmage believed that there were
means of communication between this
world and the next. and that the news
paper men who had gone before had
heard with pleasure of this gathering on
Cypress hill. The public made as
great q demonstration of gladness over
the reduction of a cent in the price of
their morning paper but in their glori-
ficatlon of the nickel, little thought of
the newspaper men behind. The Poets
corner i'll Westminster abbey was an at
tempt at atonement for the miSeries of
Grub street..Th monument was good
thing, but had come little too late.
They had asked for bread and we had
given stone. DIR. Talmage paid high
tribute to the press and the good it had
done the pulpit and in carrying the mes
sages of chrisendom. The closing prayer
and benediction were by Rev. w. S.
Rounsford, ID. D., and the exercises con-
cluded with the singing of the DOxology
by the AmphiOn chorus and audience.

GROWING CROPS.
They Are in Fair Condition in Most
Sections

CHICAGO, June 12-The following
crop summary will appear in this weeks
issue of the Farmers Review: The
wheat harvest has been somewhat re-
tarded in the South by shOwery weather,
but in other localities the rain has had a
beneficial effect. Missouri has the best
prospects for an even and abundant win
ter wheat crop. Our reports on the con-
ditiOn of winter wheat is as follows:
Twenty counties in Illinois report an
average condition of 81 per cent. Six
counties report injury from draught and
insects. Eleven counties in Indiana re-
port an average condition of sc per cent:
four counties report injury by insects.
Seven counties in Michigan report an
average condition OF IS per cent, and
two of them complain of insects. Six
teen counties in Ohio report an average
condition of SO per cent, and little dam
age by insects. Five counties in Wis
cOnSin report an average condition of
S5 per cent. Four counties in Iowa
report an average condition of SO
per cent. The average of condition
falls to 81 per cent. In twelve Kansas
counties reports of injury from insects
and drought are general. Chautauaua
county reports almost total failure of
the crop, and in Ness county i is in the
same condition. Five counties in Ken
lucky report an average condition of 81
per cent. Twelve counties in Missouri
report an average condition of trifie
over 100 per cent. The condition of
spring wheat is reported as follows:
Thirteen counties in Iowa place the
condition at so per cent, with injury
from insects in seven. Three Kansas
counties place the average at So per
cent. Seven counties in Nebraska have
an average of 81 per cent?, with injury
from insects and drought in three. Four
Dakota counties report an average con-
ditiOn Of 93 per cent. Fourteen counties
in Minnesota report an average condi-
ton of S5 per cent. The corn crop all
through the corn belt is above the aver
age i'll condition, and prospects are
good. Oats and grass have suffered
from dry weather. Potatoes are in good
condition, and fruit promises a fair crop
as rule.
